I have finished repairing the 1890 Martin guitar that came into the shop on life support. A special thanks to John Hall of Blues Creek Guitars for his advice and support on this project. Here is a video of the repair and some audio of the guitar being played.
I hope you enjoy it.

It sounds great!
Did you drill just to have position markers for re-gluing the back in its original position?
